Their romance is like something out of a fairy tale and as fans still ride the royal wedding wave, we'll probably never come to terms with just how much Prince Harry completely and utterly adores his wife, Meghan Markle.

Now to Love speaks exclusively with Louise Mahler, Leadership Influencer and Body Language expert, as she weighs in on the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex and key players from the wedding day to reveal some fascinating insights...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's first kiss vs. Prince William and Duchess Catherine's

"The kiss is similar in body position, intimacy and love however the hands are different," Louise says of the main key difference.

"Meghan and Harry are holding hands. Kate and William are separate."

"For me, the critical thing was that Meghan appeared to turn to him and initiate that now was the time, ie she told him what to do!"

"Meghan and Harry's closed eyes, pressure on the lips and the length lingers for longer than William and Kate's but both are clearly couples in love. No question about that, as apposed to Di and Charles."

Meghan Markle's mother, Doria Ragland

After Thomas Markle pulled out of the royal wedding, Doria was the only family member from Meghan's side to attend the event and fans applauded the yoga instructor for her poised and independent stance, an inspiring symbol for single parents around the world.

"Doria was a picture of grace and poise and everything any daughter could have hoped for in a mother. She was moved, but not too moved. She was alone, but never alone," Louise says.

"Her breath remained low, her eyes remained soft an focused, her jaw was loose and she walked with grace."

Prince Charles is the unsung hero of the day

From walking Meghan Markle down the aisle, to welcoming Doria Ragland into the fold, Louise says this is "the new Prince Charles."

"Charles's warmth for Meghan is palpable. He throws his body toward her, reaching out, warmly guiding her as he walks he down the aisle."

"His downward look signals respect and his arm around her is caring."

During the singing of the registry, Charles gently offered out his hand and escorted Doria to the private room where the newlyweds enjoyed a moment of privacy in front of their parents.

After the ceremony, Doria Ragland was escorted by Prince Charles to wave off her daughter and new son-in-law as they embarked on their carriage ride.

In a very sweet moment, she linked arms with Prince Charles, and according the guests at the reception the pair were as thick as thieves and inseparable all evening.

"He seemed genuinely welcoming and caring to Doria, what a change from what we saw at his wedding," Louise says.

"His body is towards Camilla, but his elbow is open towards Doria not slammed in. His body posture is open and welcoming towards her, she's part of the team. He is open to her and breathing and relaxed."

How Prince Harry feels about his princess bride, Meghan Markle

Watching Harry on his wedding day and it's easy to he's simply besotted by Meghan and extremely caring over her well-being.

Whether he's gently stroking her hand or asking if she's OK, this is a man in love.

As Louise concludes, "Harry changes when he is with Meghan. He gets serious. It is not a case of not being infatuated or madly in love, he is."

"He changes from being the joker with William, to being the protector with Meghan. He acts like her body guard and lover."

"When he is with Meghan, he smiles less and instead of jokes we get sweet comments like 'Are you alright?'"
